Daughters of the Empire: A Memoir of Life and Times in the British Raj

by Iris MacFarlane

This study shows how, by supporting their husbands, British women held together the greatest empire on earth, often to their private cost and pain. Based on a very rich collection of letters, diaries, and photographs, it is a story of class, snobbery, racism, but also of suffering and courage, told in a vivid and moving way.
